Chapter 169 Sudden Heartbeat
Charles was dead sure he could take down all four thugs in front of him in under two minutes.
But could Snow hold her own against two knife-wielding goons for that long?
What if they threatened her?
This was the last thing he wanted to happen!
'You pushed me to this!' Charles thought.
"System, boost Strength by 10, Constitution by 10, Agility by 20!"
"Ding! Enhancing Strength by 10 points, Constitution by 10 points, Agility by 20 points requires 40 enhancement points. Confirm enhancement?"
"Confirm!"
"Ding! Enhancement successful!"

The moment the enhancement was done, Charles felt his speed and strength skyrocket!
He didn't need any fancy combat techniques. When he was that fast and strong, no thug stood a chance!
Charles's punches and kicks were so quick, the thugs couldn't even see them coming!
Right then, in Charles's eyes, the thugs' attacks looked like they were moving in slow motion, like snails!
Actually, they weren't slower; Charles was just that much faster!
One punch!
Two punches!
Three punches!
Four punches!
To the thugs, Charles's speed was unreal. Even though they saw his punches, they couldn't react.
With four punches, the thugs were sent flying, their ribs shattered by Charles's blows!
They were out cold, maybe even dead!
As Charles took down the four thugs, the other two rushed at Snow. They thought she was an easy target.
But Snow wasn't just some helpless woman. She had some serious combat skills, trained for years to protect herself.
She knew how to gouge eyes, kick groins, and use elbow strikes, hitting all the weak spots with dirty tricks!
Anyone who underestimated her was in for a world of hurt.
One thug tried to grab Snow, but she gouged his eyes and kicked him hard in the groin!
"Damn it! You bitch!"
The last thug, the hotel staffer in the banquet hall, had a nasty look in his eyes.
He wasn't holding back, wielding a sharp dinner knife and aiming it right at Snow's chest.
Meanwhile, the other thug, despite being half-blind and in pain, grabbed Snow's legs, pinning her down!
At that critical moment, just as Snow thought she was done for...
A solid chest appeared behind her, and the dinner knife in front of her was locked in place by an iron grip, unable to move an inch.
Under the sharp blade, Charles's hand was bleeding!
In the next second, Charles kicked the hotel staff away!
This kick, fueled by pure rage, was like a battlefield charge.
The thug was launched three meters high and then crashed onto the concrete floor.
After rolling a few times, he died on the spot!
Yeah, Charles, with his boosted strength, couldn't hold back and ended up kicking the thug to death instantly!
No biggie. It was self-defense.
Snow fell into Charles's solid chest, looking at his injured and bleeding hand, feeling an unprecedented sense of security.
It seemed like as long as this guy was around, no matter what crisis hit, he could always handle it effortlessly!
Charles wasn't a coward!
He might talk big, but his actions were stronger and more decisive than any other guy.
Not just this time, but the last time they ran into thugs, it was also Charles who stepped up.
Looking at Charles's injured and bleeding hand, Snow's unbreakable heart wavered for the first time!
Turned out there really was a guy who could protect her in times of danger.
Turned out his chest was so solid, and she really wanted to lean on it!

"Is your hand okay?" Snow asked anxiously.
"It's fine, just a scratch, no big deal. Call the cops."
"Okay, I'll call right away!"
Snow obediently started dialing 911.
After detailing the cause and process of the incident over the phone, the police responded immediately.
Her gaze fixed on Charles.
For a long time, she always thought she didn't like men!
Sometimes, she would feel uncomfortable when a guy got a little too close!
Because she deeply realized how ugly and disgusting a man could be when she was imprisoned!
But just now, leaning on Charles's chest, she felt very attached and intoxicated!
In that moment, she fell for this guy!
She didn't know if it was because of his determined eyes or his unique vibe.
Sometimes, when you thought someone wasn't good enough, they seemed annoying no matter what.
But once you thought someone was good, everything about them seemed like a virtue!
Everything about them seemed charming and charismatic!
Since the location was a bit remote, the police finally arrived after about half an hour.
To Charles's surprise, the lead detective was Nancy!
"Officer Hawkins, we've already investigated. There was a fierce fight at the scene, resulting in one death and seven serious injuries. These seven seriously injured thugs have severe internal bleeding and need immediate medical attention, or they might die!
Also, all eight of them are wanted fugitives, especially the one with the beard; he's an S-class international fugitive!"
